For the most part, the 2009 Artbox Harry Potter San Diego Comic-Con exclusives went bigger. And by bigger, that means in the literal sense as most of the cards they made for the show are on the large side.
On the autograph front, there’s an Evanna Lynch card that measures 3 1/2 by 5 inches. The actress plays Luna Lovegood.
Also on the over-sized side of things is a set of four Half-Blood Prince Costume-Prop cards. Each has swatches from two different pieces of clothing or set pieces from the film. A total of 250 sets were produced.
There’s also 550 sets of three Half-Blood Prince Prop cards. Each card has a piece of a quidditch stand from Gryffindor, Hogwarts or Slytherin.
A prop card of a Harry Potter stink button is one of the rarest Artbox produced for the entire franchise. It has just 33 copies.
Not all of the 2009 Artbox Harry Potter San Diego Comic-Con exclusives come as traditional trading card hits. A set of four Crystal cards is limited to 250 copies. A set of two Jumbo Crystal cards has the same print run.
2009 Artbox Harry Potter San Diego Comic-Con Auction Items
Even tougher are some special cards that were auctioned off at the convention. These include a Harry Potter costume card numbered to 9 and two sets of letter patch cards featuring Harry and Cedric Diggory. Each of the patch cards is one-of-a-kind.
